this is a pr nightmare for the obama administration right now. all the things he's talking about, all the things he's shared sounds like a lot of talk to the american people. it's really disappointing in a sense that for the most part, the things we discover from snowden are things that we already knew and just forgotten. they have been recharacterized and reframed. now it looks as if it's breaking news and obama is putting out a lot of fires. at this point with the economy still being sluggish and people having a huge distrust of the government, i don't think there's really very much he can say to the american people other than totally getting rid of the nsa that's going to win over most american's trust. >> are you saying this because there had been details around out before? we've been -- with the fake scandals that don't amount to anything. do you agree with the president this is a false scandal, the nsa scandal? >> i agree in a sense that the way it's been characterized is that this is something that the obama administration sort of created.

both a senior obama administration official and the british foreign secretary william haig saying that even if the u.n. inspectors get on the ground there, whatever evidence they find is likely to have been corrupted. they say that site has been continuously shelled by the syrian regime over the past several days, which may make any evidence that they find not credible. why are they then so sure in assigning blame saying they are fairly certain there was a chemical weapons attack and that the regime is to blame? it's because what we now learned from a u.s. official is that there was evidence collected, including some tissue samples from that site in the hours and days following the attack. the evidence was collected by multiple international sources and was then being analyzed at a separate location. so we've seen a real change in tone. from what we are hearing from members of congress, they have been in touch with the white house and seem to be prepared for some sort of action. >> perhaps the president could start and then congress needs to resolve it and ascent to it. we've got to mo
